Help! I have a bit if a dilemma. Thanks to the wet weather these last 2 weeks and the fact that my dad is out of action with an eye injury, my paving hasn't been completed. All that really needs doing is the edges and the pavers in my steps need to be cemented in. I'd attempt to do it myself but th...
I'd probably just get someone in to do it. Then you don't need to worry about it anymore.

Thanks everyone. Thankfully it stopped raining everytime we had to load and unload so been pretty lucky. Managed to get it shifted in two loads. Now we have the fun of unpacking and finding everything we chucked in boxes... Only problem has been the shelves above the fridge... they installed 10mm to...

Managed to get a few boxes shifted last night to get a head start on today. Dumped them in the theatre. Head to shift a heap of pavers too which the builder left on the driveway. Plus they left one stack in the garage so we have plenty of pavers to do something with! My mate who was helping us last ...

i just rang the guy - didn't bother with their online service. Yes, it did include installation. When i thought about how much the materials would cost to do it myself and then the time taken to do it, $450 for someone else to do it was very attractive. I think it only took at most an hour for him ...
Thanks for that. I'll call him later. Just done the final walkthrough. Definition of a builders clean. Painters are stil...

We went through Stratco.. Just walked into a store and ordered. XDDD I don't know if they have them over there though. My side gate is $1,400... but its pretty fancy, I found out last weekend I could have had the same look for half the price with a similar product... but the guy messed me up. :( Oh...
Yeah, Stratco are a bit on the pricey side.

Thanks for that Dee I'll give him a call

So exciting Bob! How'd you go with the gate quotes? What sort of gate are you getting? We want a Colorbond slat gate and I've just been looking online to find a couple places to contact for quotes as want to get that installed ASAP to secure the back garden and avoid our HWS getting stolen! Follow ...
We are getting a colourbond gate but so far only one person has got back to me with a quote. For the 1.47m gap they have...
